  • Set short term goals for large projects and write it down.
  • Provide a quiet work space.
  • Set a regular “homework time.”
  • Take short breaks between segments.
  • Help with homework, answer questions, and give explanations. Don’t do the homework!
  • Check or review homework with your child.

  • Make Sunday a clean out your binders and backpack night.
  • Store important papers in a file or bin and throw out unwanted ones.
  • Bring your child back to school one afternoon each quarter (or as needed) to clean out their locker.
